Security circus with masturbating monkeys

Linus Torvalds

Linus Torvalds might be a brilliant man, his way of expressing himself is not always how I would choose to talk to people. Few weeks ago he thought “the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys“, this time he is fed up with the “security circus” surrounding software vulnerabilities and how they’re hyped by security people.

Torvalds explained his position in an e-mail exchange with Network World this week. He also expanded on critical comments he made last month that caused a stir in the IT industry.

Linus, a hero in his own way.
